These are things people often say about Student Registration. Click on the question or comment to see the answer.

I called to make an appointment but you told me to call back on another day. Why?

Many people want classes at Literacy Advance. People call every day. To make it as fair as possible, we open the new student registration on one day in the month. That way, everyone calls on the same day and everyone has an equal chance of getting an appointment.

I have called many times but I couldn't get through. When I finally spoke to someone they said the appointments were full. This isn't fair!

We know this situation is frustrating. We are sorry if you don't get an appointment. Our classes are free, and we have 10 classrooms in our office. We cannot give a class to everyone who wants one. We do not have enough space for hundreds of classes. If we put everyone who calls on the wait list, the list would have thousands of names on it. People would wait for many, many months. We try to keep the list short, and the wait short. Some people miss out and we are very sorry.

Why can't I come to the office to make an appointment? When I call the line is busy.

The people who work at the office cannot answer the phone AND talk to people who come to the office, at the same time. We ask everyone to call. Then the people in the office answer the phone. They work as fast as they can. We know not everyone can get through and we are sorry about that. But this system is as fair as we can make it. Thank you for understanding.

"The most important thing my students have taught me is that no matter how much you have traveled, or how worldly you believe you are, the opportunity to sit face to face with people from all over the planet to work together on a common goal provides a unique understanding of other cultures."

"If you step out of hiding, there are people there to help you, to support you... I want people to know that. Don't give up. If you don't give up, you'll be OK. And that's what I'm doing now - not giving up."
